It happens when editors disagree on article content.

France has been tightening security and searching for accomplices since the terror attacks began, but none of the 54 people have been linked to the attacks.

Evidence of a US judicial vendetta against WikiLeaks activists mountsI knew when I put down my name as co-producer of a video, released by WikiLeaks, showing United States soldiers shooting civilians in Baghdad from a helicopter that my life would never be the same. Telling the truth during times of universal deceit might be considered a revolutionary act, but only to those who want to keep us in the dark, not by those who feel compelled to do so.

But at CIA headquarters, it's mainly known by its all-too-apt acronym: W.T.F. The irreverence is perhaps understandable for an agency that has been relatively unscathed by WikiLeaks.
